Anthony Rowley

More About Anthony

Anthony grew up always having a passion for the outdoors. Growing up in Utah, Anthony had the opportunity to spend several days and nights in the Rocky Mountains hunting and fishing. At the age of 14, Anthony was taught by his grandfather how to fly fish and tie flies. Anthony set aside his bait fishing rod and hasn’t went back since. “Fly fishing is more than a hobby,”

says Anthony, “it is who I am.” Every spare moment is spent fishing, tying flies or helping others learn the magnificent sports. Anthony also hunts. He has a growing respect for nature that is expressed by utilizing all aspects of his game harvests by even taking hair, feathers, and fur to incorporate in his fly tying. There is something special about taking thread, raw materials and a hook to make something that can deceive nature.

Erik Svendsen

More About Erik

Erik has been fly fishing on and off since college but then, Erik tied his first fly over a year ago and was instantly addicted. It has been a stepping stone for him to better understand the insects in local waters and why fish target certain flies better than others. There is something about tying flies that helps Erik to escape the stresses of life and focus on something so small, only taking minutes sometimes from start to finish, that gives a sense of accomplishment. It is a hobby that has allowed for creating great friendships off and on the water. Often times with the other duties of life and family, it is hard to get out to the river or lake, but Erik can always whip out his bench and tie a few flies after the dust settles and everyone is asleep in the house. There is nothing better than hooking a fish on something that you created with your own hands confirming that you must have done something right that day. Keep on doing it right Erik, Stealth is glad to have you!

Evan Gazza

More About Evan

Evan makes his home waters in Western New York where he spends a lot of time chasing lake run Steelheads and Brown Trout. While growing up Evan was always riding his bike to the closest pond to see what kind of fish were held in it. Evan got into fly fishing about 5 years ago after a few year hiatus from fishing while attending college and physical therapy school. In the past 3 years Evan has started tying his own flies and enjoys tying streamers and smaller nymphs as well as anything inbetween. It has become just as fun to tie the flies as it is to fish them for Evan.

Seth Tassos

More About Seth Tassos

Like the lucky few of us, Seth grew up chucking rooster tails and power bait with his dad on local stocked streams and ponds. With a desire for more, he picked up his first fly rod 11 years ago and hasn’t looked back. Not only did Seth become obsessed with the art of casting and reading the water, he entered a whole new chapter of life. This chapter began shortly after realizing how expensive losing all these flies could become. As a ploy to save money Seth decided to start tying his own, little did he know it would not only consume him, but also an entire room in his house. Seth now spends his days on Spring Creek in State College PA lifting up rocks and matching the hatch for the next wild Pennsylvania brown trout. Life is good for Seth. So is being apart of the Stealth team!
